Space Airlines has signed a tenancy agreement with Airport International Group (AIG), at QAIA giving it a maintenance zone on the northern apron and a terminal office in T1..
Curtis Grad, AIG’s chief executive said "We are pleased to be signing this agreement with Space Airlines which will further support our ongoing efforts to further develop and diversify air service at QAIA. We look forward to building a long-term and prosperous relationship with Space Airlines."

In addition, the capital Amman provides the ideal backdrop, fast becoming a hub and major destination for passengers and airlines from around the world."
